The position
Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, you'll lead an Engineering squad and take a hands-on role in driving its day-to-day delivery.
You'll stay close to the work, create clarity around priorities and ownership, investigate blockers, coordinate follow-up actions and ensure commitments progress through to completion.
Working closely with Product, Engineering, Quality and Client Success, you'll help the squad deliver predictably, efficiently and to a high standard while creating an environment in which people can perform at their best.
A software development background may be valuable, but it is not essential; success in this role depends on your ability to understand technical work, ask effective questions and drive outcomes.

Proactively identify and investigate blockers, establish clear actions and owners, and follow through until they are resolved.
Use delivery data and team insights to identify constraints and drive continuous improvement.
Coach team members, provide regular feedback and create an environment that supports robust performance and professional growth.
